Renal Blood Flow and Glomerular Filtration — Flashcards
The _____ ratio is used as a marker for water reabsorption along the nephron
_____ levels of angiotensin II primarily causes vasoconstriction of the renal efferent arterioles
Renal blood flow (RBF) remains relatively constant between blood pressure ranges of _____ to 200 mmHg
Creatinine clearance slightly _____-estimates GFR because creatinine is moderately secreted by renal tubules
The glomerular filtration barrier is responsible for filtering the plasma according to the properties of a compounds _____ and net charge
An _____ in the filtration fraction is associated with a decrease in the Glomerular Filtration Rate.
Hint: increase/decrease
Angiotensin II normally _____ the efferent arteriole of the kidney
The _____ mechanism of renal autoregulation states that renal afferent arterioles contract in response to vasoactive substances released by the macula densa
_____ is the volume of plasma completely cleared of a substance by the kidneys per unit time
What formula is used to calculate clearance? _____
